Default How happy are you with your current location?
Just curious about how many of us here like where we live, hate where we live, and everything in between Me, I'm mostly happy, but sometimes I just want to up and move because I get the travel bug. The weather can get to me (I'm in New Mexico, heh) and the lack of being in a big city...but I love the low cost of living and the air quality and the food and my friends. Win some, lose some.

I would really enjoy a change of scenery (mountains preferably) except that the people around here are fantastic and the food is second to none. SO I suppose I am pretty happy here. I recently took a trip to the Fairfax/DC area and discovered very much where Id most hate to live.

I was there last year and it had the worst traffic I've ever seen. I love DC as a city, but I'd need to make a big enough salary to live in the city itself. Suburbs are not for me.

I hate it so much, I've seen so much in this neighborhood and I'm done, I live in NYC and yet there's nothing good within walking distance, I need a change in scenery and environment than this high crime suburban neighborhood on the outskirts of NYC.

Last year this neighborhood had 28 homicides and nearly 900 robberies which is a lot for a neighborhood with less than 80,000 people.

No winter would make me cry! But I don't like it to stay cold for too long.
